The MAN WITHOUT AN ENEMY
We believe in the man or woman who
has "enemies." This does not sound
sound, but it is sound. Your milk
and-water people, who content them
selves by simply doing no good.
They are mere negatives. Your man
of force, who does not wait for a
stone to get out of the way, but man.
fully rolls it over, may, unintention-
ally, hurt somebody's toes in the act
but thousands who will have to 90
that way, will thank you for clearing
it. The man or woman who has no
enemies, is, generally, sleek, creep
ing Or cowardly creature, caring for
no one but himself Sinking and
creeping his unchallenged way, to the
obscurity he merits. He adds moth
ing to the common stock-does no
good in the world, and is lowered in
to six feet of earth without one sin
cere regret from any one. He has
had no enemies, but has he had a
friend? A place is vacant, but not
in any warm, grateful heart. A fig
for such people Elk.

"A horse of another color"

Have you heard any comments on
the late decision in the Royce and
Maloney case by any of that long list
of indicators who rendered Judge
Royce big dinner at the Weldon in
the fall of 1884, and whose names APP
peared in the Messenger with elabor-
ate comments? Have you seen any
thing in our Kingman street contem-
porary about the case beyond the
bare fact that the court had directed
certain entries made in the case? How
eagerly that paper seized upon the
foolish squib found in recent issue of
the st. Johnsbury Republican to the
effect that the Supreme Court were
hopelessly divided, and that it was not
probable any decision would be reach
